Thank you, Heiko! I have been trying to decide between a Twig and a Thorn. Sounds like a Thorn for me! Your review helped me understand the difference between the two razors better. I love the cross in your logo! I am a retired (but still very active) pastor.
I just got my first twig yesterday after a big Amazon sale. I LOVED my first shave with it, and I’m a DE shaver! I watched your video to see if I should have gotten the thorn and I agree with you, the twig does a great job. And I have yet to find ANY razor that I can get a close shave with a single pass. I can use a feather blade in an aggressive razor and I’ll still do 2 passes. With the twig I had a fantastically close shave after two passes and I could have been blind folded doing it.
To add ~ What I have done in the past with my LEAF 🍃 Twigs & Twig Thorns is I put one drop of the LEAF Shave Oil into the bottom "Stand Hole" Then I türn the razor üpside down and open & close the razor a couple of times üntil the sqüeeking stops. Actually works very well. *Cheers* ☕ 👍🏻
Fantastic Video MAN ... In my opinion when it comes to my *LEAF* 🍃* Twig* & My *LEAF* 🍃 *Twig* *Thörn* ~ I jüst flip ah' coin. They are both trüly *MAGNIFICENT* Cheers ☕ from *On The Road* here in *Ardmore*, *Oklahoma* *U.S.A.* 🇺🇸
Got my Twig today and used it for the first time with the Cremo. Like you I also put it on with a brush and it was okay. The Leaf Twig was wonderful and exactly what I was looking for. I've always used either single or double blade disposable however the double blade razors would give me an occasional ingrown hair. What I really disliked about the disposables is how hard they are to flush/clean out. Constant tapping against the sink and the stuff would still be in there. The Leaf rinses clean with just a little water stream, exactly what I was wanting and looking for. It's a hit and I really like it. I don't have any complaints but one suggestion and that would be to reverse the threads on the mechanism so that righty is tighty and lefty is loosey. :)
Cremo is a shave cream not a shave lather, I guess using a brush could help though. Have you ever used Palmolive shave soap in the tube? It’s not in production now, but it was one of my favorites.
Received my Leaf Thorn today .. Damn what a nice shave! So did a full head shave ... about 4 day's growth . Used their (Leaf) preshave oil . Used Leaf single edge razor blade included in the package . Tabac shaving cream Absolute smooth shave! Felt no blade! Very efficient .. only had to do 2 passes! Just glided over my head! Only con .. handle is very slippery .. like in very! Had to wipe my hand continuesly during the shave. You want a good grip not to cut / nick yourself! Concern: you reporting sqeeking when you turn the handle loading the blade after a few months. Saw your video where you opened the razor to clean and lubricate internally ... mmm .. not having the mechanical skill set to do that! 😳 I do have the Leaf 3 blade razor and impressed but not really for detailed shaving. My 1st impression of the Thorn: very impressed! Just hope the concern above don't cross my path!! I do however try to only hold it in water head down and drop a few drops of shaving oil into the handle and on top after cleaning ... let's see .. 😉
Great shave. I have the twig but always have a hard time getting use to the different angle. I will have to give the twig another try. If you have both razors, you could use the Thorn for the first pass and finish up with the twig. I have some Cremo and use it when I have to use an electric razor for a quick shave. 💈💈💈
The thorn is closer to the DE5 but they feel completely different. The DE5 has he hybrid comb which can definitely be felt while shaving. I haven't used the DE89 in a wile but I don't think it is as mild as people say it is. I think the DE89 is also closer to thorn. The Twig is incredible mild but efficient enough to get a smooth result. The thorn is just one notch up.
@@Heiko-shaves thank you for taking the time for the info & reply Heiko! Sounds like I may enjoy the thorn more! I’ll try the thorn when I try one. I know exactly what u mean that the DE5 hybrid comb feels different. I’m not sure I like open comb/hybrid comb blade feel so thanks for that bit of info.
Bist du gut angekommen? Es ist enorm wie schnell sich deine Rasierhobel Nachwuchs bekommen. Fütterst du die mit einem besonderen Kraftfutter, oder weshalb vermehren die sich so gut? 😅
Hallo Heiko, vielen Dank für diese erstklassige Vergleichsrasur von besonderem Interresse mit deiner ausführlichen und hilfreichen Einschätzung. In meinem Fall bestand das Kraftfutter aus unfreiwillig gespendetem eigenen roten Lebenssaft. Schon wenige Tropfen sorgten für weiteren Zuwachs. Zumindest wurden die Biester mit jeder Generation etwas zahmer und ihr Appettit ließ deutlich nach. Seltsamerweise lässt die Vermehrungsfreudigkeit nun trotz des geringeren Konsums nicht wirklich nach. Grüße Artur
I just want to add one other thing: You give the most honest and intelligent reviews of all the guys giving razor reviews. Thank you.
Thank you, that is very nice of you .
@@Heiko-shavesIt’s my pleasure!

Glad I could help. The work in the ministry never ends, keep up the good work and God bless.

It is still my go to for the quick shave in the morning. The thorn is only a very small step up in aggression. It is just as usable.

Thanks for sharing!!
👍🏻
Excellent shave provided by both razors, I love using both.
Thank you for the video!
My pleasure!
I love my thorn

You are right, the razor is great but the thread is confusing at first.
I use Cremo as a pre-shave when shaving my head. It works well, but don’t use a pre-shave for face shaving.
Cremo is a shave cream not a shave lather, I guess using a brush could help though. Have you ever used Palmolive shave soap in the tube? It’s not in production now, but it was one of my favorites.
I guess Cremo is advertised as a brushless lathering cream. I have a couple of tubes of Palmolive. I like it.

So did a full head shave ... about 4 day's growth
. Used their (Leaf) preshave oil
. Used Leaf single edge razor blade included in the package
. Tabac shaving cream
Absolute smooth shave!
Felt no blade!
Very efficient .. only had to do 2 passes!
Just glided over my head!
Only con .. handle is very slippery .. like in very! Had to wipe my hand continuesly during the shave. You want a good grip not to cut / nick yourself!

Glad you like it. If you treat it that way it will last you a very long time.
Great shave. I have the twig but always have a hard time getting use to the different angle. I will have to give the twig another try. If you have both razors, you could use the Thorn for the first pass and finish up with the twig. I have some Cremo and use it when I have to use an electric razor for a quick shave. 💈💈💈
Thanks 👍
I have got to try a thorn.
It's a good one. I love it.
Put a bit of oil in the hole below it should stop
Which would u say is closer in shave to the DE5 efficiency wise? Is the twig closer to the De89 efficiency wise?
The thorn is closer to the DE5 but they feel completely different. The DE5 has he hybrid comb which can definitely be felt while shaving. I haven't used the DE89 in a wile but I don't think it is as mild as people say it is. I think the DE89 is also closer to thorn.

Verbotene Experimente an Rasierhobeln! Du darfst sie nicht nach Mitternacht füttern.
@@Heiko-shavesAre these what we call “inside jokes”?

From here it looks like you struggled to to get that shaving cream into a really good lather ...
By the way .. started to shave at 15 / 16 ...
video is to long . get
to the point
I don't want to be disrespectful but nobody forces you to watch it.
Please don't wear a shirt when you shave. It detracts from the credibility of your reviews.
Sure, 😉
